Hypocrisy Alert: New Mexico Eco-Left Uses Pandemic to Delay Jobs, But Not Extra Regulations

July 21, 2020

Radical environmentalists are celebrating the proposal of new regulations in New Mexico, and they’re not letting their hypocrisy get in the way.

The administration of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham rolled out new proposed methane rules on Monday and promised public hearings…virtual public hearings. Regulators feel having to look energy workers in the face during the pandemic is too dangerous, but they want their rules to move forward anyway.

Keep in mind, the Governor’s administration seems to be satisfied with doing everything virtually, even if it means their Education Secretary doesn’t actually live in New Mexico.

However, when it comes to federal issues that would allow for more energy development, the eco-left demands a delay because…virtual responses aren’t good enough.  For New Mexico’s radical environmentalists, the pandemic is a handy excuse to delay actions they don’t like but not enough to slow down onerous rules that kill jobs.

And apparently their dictionaries don’t contain the word hypocrisy.
